Can I communicate with two different FP 1000 modules through one labview program at the same time

[Noely]

I am wondering could you communicate with two seperate FP 1000 modules with one labview program, using a tab control, with page 1 of the tab communicating with one FP 1000 through com port 1 and page 2 of the tab control communicating with another FP 1000 module through com port 4, using different iak files for both. Can I do it through using those wireless modems supplied by National Instruments. Sorry I dont have a name for them.

Noely,

Within a single IAK file, you can have multiple FieldPoint modules on separate COM ports. There is no need to use separate IAKs for the program you are describing. Actually, older versions of NI-FieldPoint do not support having multiple IAKs in use simultaneously (I am not sure whether it is currently supported).

As for the Radio Modems, they are called SRM-6000s and can be used simultaneouslyon different serial ports. Although, using the SRM-6000 in a single master multi slave arrangement, you could use a single serial port to talk to both FP-1000s (3 SRMs total). You will need to configure the FP-1000s to have separate addresses (DIP Switch setting).
